摘要： In thinking through the meaning of Black Digital Humanities and Africana Studies' futurity among junior scholars and practitioners, this article presents a meditation on the intersections between Digital Humanities (DH), Africana Studies coursework, and Africana Studies pedagogy. It offers a case study wherein DH was employed in the instruction and assessment activities of an upper division hybrid (i.e., combining traditional face-to-face and online instruction) Africana Studies course at a public university in southern California during the fall semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. The purpose of this experiment was to determine how Africana Studies might go beyond a mere engagement with DH questions, theories, and tools to show how DH coursework that is distinctly "Africana" in nature may be developed more centrally as a subfield of Africana Studies itself. The overarching questions guiding this experiment include the following: What does it mean to engage DH in Africana Studies? How might we teach DH in Africana Studies within the framework of its pedagogical and methodological objectives? How does Africana DH shape both collaborative and creative learning in the classroom?

摘要： How do we teach and learn with our students about data literacy, at the same time as Biesta (2015) calls for an emphasis on 'subjectification' i.e. 'the coming into presence of unique individual beings'? (Good Education in an Age of Measurement: Ethics, Politics, Democracy. Routledge) Our response to these challenges and the datafication of higher education, is a hands-on approach to building an open, collaborative pedagogy of data literacy, based on Bayesian Networks (BNs) (Pearl, J. 1985. Bayesian Networks: A Model of Self-Activated Memory for Evidential Reasoning. Los Angeles: University of California (Computer Science Department)). BNs can be used to merge subjective views of the learning process with objective data analysis from the learning environment;BNs are visual data constructs and, unlike other Machine Learning approaches that obfuscate and complexify, BNs can be developed to reveal relationships from observations. In this paper, we share ways in which teachers and students can work together in a praxis approach to use data to 'read the world' around them (Freire, P. 1970. Pedagogy of the Oppressed. New York: Continuum. 125).

摘要： Educational stakeholders often recruit male teachers of color as solutions to the problems facing Black and Latino boys and young men in PreK-12 schools. However, given the assumptions made of these teachers' role in the lives of boys of color and their disproportionally low presence, few studies have considered what boys themselves report as missed because of the absence of Black and Latino male teachers. This case study drew from the voices of five Black and Latino adolescent boys in one urban secondary school in the United States to theorize what the participants missed (e.g. yearned for connections, reflections of self) and missed out on (e.g. seeing positive images of men of color) by not having a more robust presence of Black and Latino male teachers of color or misters. Findings indicated the need for boys' voices in advancing nuanced recruitment and retention discourses for their male teachers of color.

摘要： Research in rhetoric and writing has found that Wikipedia-based education allows for direct and transparent observation of practices and concepts related to writing process, research, social collaboration, and digital rhetoric while also providing opportunities for authentic writing situations. However, much of this literature has been focused on undergraduate applications. To expand this scholarship, this article centers on pedagogical applications for Wikipedia-based practices in doctoral education. Drawing from two methodologies, participatory action research and teacher research, and utilizing a method of collaborative reflective inquiry for the collection of data, this study examines graduate students' reflective writing regarding their experience with a Wikipedia-based assignment. Qualitative analysis provides insight into students' understanding of Wikipedia editing as a form of disciplinary praxis and teacher training that enables expansion of academic knowledge in the encyclopedia, while also highlighting specific challenges related to this form of pedagogy. Finally, this article offers specific recommendations for Wikipedia-based education and suggests avenues for future research.

摘要： The article addresses the concept of Black childhoods through an ontology of fugitivity that operates at the intersection of Black studies and feminist science and technology studies. An ontology of fugitivity thinks of Blackness as a performance of resistance to systems of knowledge that have persistently situated Blackness as placeless and outside sovereign power. The article elaborates this ontology of fugitivity with attention to two concepts, the Black outdoors and a recalibration of the senses. Focusing retrospectively on a series of classroom interactions and art created by one Black girl, Quvenzhane, the article examines how, through processes of artwork, Black childhoods articulate as complex compositions of bodies, images, sound, and non-binary relations of outside-inside. The article concludes with a discussion of how pedagogies that attend to fugitivity can contribute to sensorial and ontological reorientations demanded by the Anthropocene.

关键词： South Pacific   indigenous languages   higher education  

摘要： This paper considers an appropriate pedagogy for indigenous language programmes at tertiary level in a context in which a former colonial language has become the default as both medium of instruction and subject of academic study. This pedagogy is guided by an overarching commitment to decolonisation of the academic space, is grounded in the sociolinguistic realities of each specific context, and remains flexible enough to accommodate the complexities that are inevitable when a language is made welcome for the first time in a new domain. A recent expansion in the number of languages offered for study at the University of the South Pacific serves as the backdrop to this discussion.

关键词： hunting and fishing   narrative ethics   place-based pedagogy  

摘要： This article provides an overview of the ethical and educational functions of storytelling in fishing and hunting practices and pedagogies. I explore various psychological, anthropological, and ethical theories surrounding storytelling as a way of encouraging deeper, more robust engagement among humans, nonhuman animals, and myriad beings that exist alongside of us in our multispecies communities. Drawing on animal studies, narrative theory, and critical pedagogy as well as ongoing qualitative research, I offer potential ways of incorporating a wider "ecology of stories" into situated hunting and fishing practices to engage more ethically with the people and beings that dwell in a given place.
